Currently in Fromista about 32 miles from the halfway point of the Frances!
Did approx 22 miles today. Going to have a shorter day tomorrow. Life is great on the Camino for this Pilgrim! Only 1 rain day but mornings have been pretty chilly. Mid 40's F. Glad I brought my hat and gloves!

Experienced the first day of rain so far. It was mostly light but it lasted most of the day. Made the air a bit chilly but tolerable. I went from Manero to Villamayor today. Spent most of the day alone! Even got to enjoy the wine fountain in Irache by myself!
Beun Camino!!
Left Saint Jean this morning at 7am. Got to Roncesvalles just before 1:30. Weather was clear and beautiful!

Very happy with my first day on the Camino!

Hello Pilgrims! I'm starting my walk in late April 2024 and getting very excited for this adventure! I'm an avid hiker and backpacker but have never done a long-distance trek before.
I look forward to chatting with people here and maybe.....run into a few of you along the way!
I'm planning to...
